Of course Apple is going to put a marketing spin on everything they do - that is a given. Does that somehow invalidate the work itself?
Why do you find it necessary to reframe the introduction of these features as a load of bullshit?
Are you arguing that these features are bad or not useful?
Or are you just saying that “it’s about time”? And if so, why not just focus on the part where Apple is doing a thing that needed to be done?
The undertones in your comment feel a bit unnecessary.
- legalcorrection 4y agoBecause it's being made to sound like something it's not. The comments are full of people fawning over how innovative and groundbreaking this is. Just trying to offer a dose of bitter reality to bring people back down to earth.
- haswell 4y agoTo what end? What new insight is gained from such a reframing? I personally don’t think the individual features are as interesting as the overall framing and the fact that Apple is publicly announcing their intentions. The feature set will doubtless change over time - such is the nature of any software endeavor - but starting that journey is the interesting part. Getting stuck on “but it’s just xyz dumb feature…” or “but they should have done x long ago”, etc. just obscure the more interesting fact that they’re explicitly embarking on this path to begin with.
